JENNIFER LAWRENCE? ARE YOU A SLUT? A VICTIM? OR A LIBERATED WOMAN? TELL EBAY "NO TO FAKE NUDES"

Jennifer Lawrence decided to pose half-naked for "Glamour" magazine to call attention to how women are objectified and abused.

Meanwhile, 70 auctions on eBay make fun of her, and her "sisters," dozens of other high-profile actresses. The ones you see in postings below.  

Here's Jennifer getting a headline today:  


And here is just SOME of what you'll find in eBay's secret "adult" section today: 



What will stop this, Jennifer? What will prevent people from profiting from fake nude images of you and other celebrities?

What you and the others need to do is have a website, a Facebook page, a Twitter account where you can actually be contacted. OR...

A manager/lawyer who will say, "Damn, this is outrageous, I will send a DMCA to vero@ebay.com and make sure an intern or a fan monitors eBay to prevent more abuse."

What would be most helpful is if EBAY STOPPED VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW:


Title 18, Sections 2257 and 2257A: all models, actors, actresses, performers and/or other persons who appear in any visual depiction or “sexually explicit conduct” (as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. §2256). 

Sellers MUST have a signed model release stating age and consent. Where, next to these images of Jennifer Lawrence, is her signature on a document stating she has agreed to the sales of the photos, and that the photos are compliant with Title 18, Sections 2257 and 2257a of Federal Law? 


What is going on with EBAY and their sneaky private "adult section" is a violation of Federal Law and common sense.

EBAY should have a "report this item" link for: ADULT MATERIAL WITHOUT SIGNED MODEL RELEASE OF AGE AND CONSENT.

Sellers should not be allowed to offer any nude pictures without stating: "I have signed model releases and I state this under penalty of perjury and suspension. If this auction is reported and I can not fax a signed statement on legal stationery from the woman in the photo, I accept suspension."

If Jennifer Lawrence had a VeRO rep and a Facebook or Twitter account, the SEVENTY items on her would be gone. If EBAY had a sane and legal policy where anyone could report an auction that violates law on age and consent, these items would be GONE.
